In winter, skis are a favorite sport for people of any age. If you decide to join this huge company, you need to figure out how to ski properly. Of course, you can ask for help from a specialist, but not everyone is ready to pay a tidy sum for this.
How to ski properly?
There are three basic requirements, observing which you will be able to learn how to ride:
- The legs should be placed 30 cm apart. During the ride, the knees should be slightly bent. You should feel a slight pressure on the tips of the shoe.
- In order for the weight to be evenly distributed, the ankles should rest against the ends of the shoes.
- Hands slightly bend at the elbows and arrange them apart from each other for about 25 cm.
Proper skis are those in which you can ride without feeling uncomfortable, so their choice is to take with full responsibility.
In general, we can distinguish three most popular techniques that are used to understand how to ski faster and correctly:
- Many learn to ride on skis, relying on the instinct of self-preservation . The bottom line is that a person coming down from the mountain will do everything to remain unharmed. However strange it may sound, the method does work. It frightens the presence of numerous shortcomings. Increased risk of injury, and you can learn the wrong movements, and fix them will be quite difficult.
- The following method is used by instructors. A person gets the basics of riding: the right rack, the right trajectory, etc. All this allows you to achieve the desired result. The only negative - a person starts to ride, as if on certain patterns.
- Another option is based on the fact that the skier starts gradually to master all the movements necessary for skating and collects them into a certain knowledge base. All this allows you to get freedom of movement and universal technique.
